Angelina Jolie spread nasty rumors about Jennifer Aniston

Angelina Jolie could be the meanest girl of them all.

Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reports that Angelina Jolie, 34, waged “a mean-spirited but effective campaign” against Jennifer Aniston around the time that Brad Pitt divorced her to be with Jolie.

Author Ian Halperin asserts in his book that Jolie and her camp (including her manager Geyer Kosinski and brother James Haven) planted press stories in 2005 that painted Aniston in a negative light. Specifically? That Aniston firmly prioritized her career over starting a family — which put her directly at odds with Pitt, who ached for kids.

Angelina, Halperin writes, “was convinced that this is the story that would resonate with all these women who saw her as a man-stealing bitch.”
